Die casting for agricultural and construction machinery

High-performance components for construction machinery and agricultural applications

In the agricultural and construction machinery sector, durability, reliability, and robustness are key requirements for every component. Machines in this segment are frequently exposed to extreme weather conditions, intense mechanical stress, and heavy-duty daily use. At the same time, expectations for precision, ergonomics, and the visual appeal of components continue to rise. HDO is an experienced partner for manufacturing die-cast components that meet all these demands – even for large-format parts with complex geometries and high-quality standards.

Precision and strength for harsh operating conditions

Our zinc and aluminium die-cast parts are used across a wide range of applications in agricultural and construction machinery. Typical products in this field include:

Covers for electronic control units
Housings for cockpit instruments
Frame elements and profiles for control panels
Connectors for mechanical assemblies

For exterior parts or control elements inside the operator’s cab, components must be manufactured with precision and able to withstand long-term mechanical stress, vibrations, temperature fluctuations, UV exposure, and moisture. This is where HDO’s zinc die casting truly excels: our components feature high dimensional accuracy, strength, and exceptionally dense, durable surfaces – ideal for the rigorous demands of agricultural and construction machinery.

Large-scale die cast components for construction and agricultural applications – built for series production

Thanks to our advanced production facilities and years of expertise, HDO can manufacture small and large die-cast parts with complex structures at consistently high quality – economically and with reliable process control. Our development engineers work closely with clients during the design phase to optimise parts for the casting process, minimising warping, porosity, or other potential casting issues.
Using advanced simulation tools, we can provide reliable predictions for mould filling, solidification behaviour, and any necessary post-processing – long before production starts. This saves time and cost during manufacturing and ensures the final component meets the strict demands of modern construction and agricultural machinery.

Surface quality with visual appeal

In addition to technical performance, the visual quality of components is becoming increasingly important in many applications. Especially for visible elements inside the cab, such as control panel housings or instrument bezels, a cohesive design and premium tactile feel are now expected.
HDO offers a wide range of finishing options – from various electroplated coatings to powder coating, wet painting, and PVD coatings that are particularly resistant and visually striking. Our in-house finishing technologies allow us to combine technical requirements – such as scratch resistance, corrosion protection, and UV stability – with a high-end appearance. The result: components that integrate seamlessly into the modern design of operator cabins or exterior panels on construction and agricultural machines.

Our offer to you: systematic die casting – from prototype to series production

HDO is more than just a manufacturer – we are a development partner. Our clients benefit from end-to-end support: we guide projects from the first design through development and engineering all the way to series production and surface finishing. With interdisciplinary teams, short decision-making paths, and a strong commitment to quality at every stage, we deliver solutions that work.
A key advantage for manufacturers of agricultural and construction equipment is the flexibility and scalability of our processes. Whether it’s small batch runs for specialised machinery or large-scale series for tractors or excavators – HDO delivers reliably, precisely, and on schedule.

Maximum process reliability for long-lasting components

Agricultural and construction machinery components face enormous stress in everyday use. Our production processes are designed to maintain consistently high quality. Every part undergoes comprehensive testing – from dimensional checks to surface inspection and mechanical function testing. This ensures every component meets all technical specifications and performs reliably in the long term – even under the harshest conditions.
Our traceability protocols, certified quality standards, and continuous process optimisation create a solid foundation for long-term partnerships with manufacturers around the world.
